Monthly mean profiles from 2006 to July 2020 provide vertical distributions of aerosol extinction coefficients and aerosol optical depth below 12km altitude. The data is derived from the CALIOP lidar instrument on the CALIPSO satellite, a joint NASA and CNES mission. This specific product averages only atmospheric columns containing opaque clouds.
This is the V4-20 Standard product; for data after July 1, 2020, the V4-21 product must be sourced. Data is specifically for 'Cloudy-Sky, Opaque' conditions.
